Compiz + Emerald is not dead !
Many users will run this for many years. I just finished to write a tutorial
abut how to install Compiz + Emerald on Trisquel-mini which is based on Lxde
desktop. The tutorial is for version Trisquel 6.0 Toutatis based on Ubuntu or
Lubuntu 12.04.

actually, Emerald IS dead. Recommending a non-supported piece of software,
probably isn't the greatest idea. Just saying.

I'll consider buying one when I got more money.

Your definition of freedom is so slippery that you just call the lack of
freedom sometimes slavery, sometimes hierarchy or being a team, just
which of the names suits you best in order to rationalize your behaviour.

If you had any real arguments I would gladly accept them.
There were many situations when people in this forum convinced me with their
ideas. So this can't be the reason.
The GPU and the video decoding hardware are unusable in the free world, but
someone is working on free software.
I've checked http://www.coreboot.org/Chromebooks instead of

there are different HP Chromebooks. Falco is the new one, with newer

I'm currently working on a sound synthesizer that will be released under the
GNU GPL. It uses a custom soundfont format based on vorbis. I'm not sure if I
can use the GPL for a soundfont, as the GPL is designed for software.
I never said that the GPL was non-free. Please don't put words in my mouth.
I compared HandBrake with Linux-Libre, which are licensed under GPLv2.
Therefore calling HandBrake non-free can be applied to Linux-Libre too. The
problem with HandBrake is in providing a static executable, rather
X60 has no ME, it's only for devices with newer Intel chipsets (using
the PCH). ME blob is stored in the same Flash chip as the BIOS/coreboot
in newer systems.
Ethernet cards too can have nonfree firmware. It's not normally
updated, while it can have bugs
Have you tried the sudo lxdm command?
A linux-libre for the board would be great. Please keep us informed.
I have no experience with sound synthesis. Maybe these comments on the
use of GPL for non-program works can be useful.
GPL works for nonsoftware works, while itt has requirements that might
be too inconvenient for some cultural works: the license text must be
included with the work, source must
Therefore, using terms like not completely freedom respecting, or
partially free software is more appropriate here.
Yep, and I no longer use terms like calling a program semifree:

One important thing I forgot to add is that, from my experience, there are
two main categories of partially free software:
one that can be liberated, and
one that cannot be
The first category make use of parts, that can be cut out without seriously
affecting the program functionality (e.g.

The key factor here is the dfsg in the package name. That represents changes
being made, by the debian packager to remove the non-free elements, to make

Great! This is the solution (at least for the live CD). I have not installed
the OS yet, but I think there should be no problems.
Thanks for the suggestion, antiesnob!
True, I convinced you once :P

Change the resolv.conf file with the servers of your choice and make it
inalterable with
$ sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
This avoids any posible overwriting. To reverse the inalterability of the
file
$ sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
removing the package resolvconf will restore /etc/resolv.conf to it's old
behaviour - in the process it will even remove the DO NOT EDIT message in
the file.
but, removing this package may (or may not) be trivial... on my netinst
install without DE metapackages, it works great, YMMV.
Problem: using network briding with tun/tap, requires root permission - not

That will only work on the live CD. So, once you installed Trisquel you'll
surely need to set the nomodeset again but this time it'll be in a
different way.

I downloaded the files from Sourceforge. The archive has a shell script to

necessary. Furthermore, the comments on the script indicate that bdftopcf is
necessary, but it is not available in the repos. I then found this

What the hell are you talking about? This community is amazingly friendly

On the sexy/ist wallpapers it's as you say but also:
To make a sexy wallpaper to advertize Trisquel differs from making a sexy

viewers mind if

No and, AFAIK, no one is working on it.
2) what is the battery life like during idle, normal, and heavy use?
I usually get about 2 hours from the 8-cell battery. I used to get more but
the backlight at 100% all the time has reduced that.

If supporting the free software philosophy of the GNU project (in this
case that freedom is the highest value) is trolling in a free software
community such as the Trisquel users community, then something must be
wrong.
